Part I

Can you just tell the table properties that you can remember? What is cache lookup what is it used for? Different types of relation? Explain it detail? Explain OCC & PCC (optimistic concurrency control , Pessimistic concurrency cont rol) Difference between views and tables Explain Queries? What s it used for? Explain different types of reports?

Explain in detail? What is the default index for a table? Explain delete action? Types of delete action? What are all the add- on tools you used in Dynamics AX (It s an indirect question for AIF) Did you work with EP (Enterprise Portal & Workflow) how can you implement this f eatures into your projects Can you just point out some best practice you used when u develop a project? Did you worked with base modules? Actually I answered this question as I worked with production module to integrate with our steel process management So can you just point out three classes that you used in production module Explain the posting in production module When you create production order .Can you point out the affecting classes, tables.
